zebras and giraffes |
The zebra species have been hunted since time immemorial by humans for food, clothing and other necessary raw materials. As far as fashion is concerned, the Zulu are among the oldest cultures that maintain their fashion sense of dressing up zebra fur. Even traditional Zulu warriors had layered zebra leather for shields and it proved substantially effective against their wars with the Dutch colonial ethnicity centuries ago.

But nowadays the zebras have recently recovered from near extinction due to humanity’s incessant demands. Efforts were made to make sure the zebra species continue to replenish their gene pool, even despite cultural and economic motivators to profit from their wholesale death. The quagga zebra sub-specie is extinct.
